Far too often we cling to the long, lazy days of summer – mourning the start of autumn rather than appreciating its cool evenings, riots of colour and bounty of produce. Quintessential Kiwi brand Swanndri’s current collection is all about embracing the season, with cosy knits and adaptable layers in flattering shades that reflect the best of New Zealand’s landscape. Arpége models pieces from their latest line in the dunes of Pāpāmoa.
